Student Organization

Kappa Delta Pi is an International Honor Society in Education. KDP was founded in 1911 and is one of the oldest discipline-specific honors societies.  Dickinson College's Alpha Beta Rho chapter was chartered on October 3, 2004. 

Dickinson College strongly supports preservice teachers in KDP and values their passion and service to their fields. KDP members are vibrant individuals committed to their academic integrity and the field of education.

Education minors can apply for membership in Kappa Delta Pi at the end of the first semester of their sophomore year.  Admission to Kappa Delta Pi will be based on academic grade point average and service to the education profession.  Kappa Delta Pi members will have the opportunity to apply for Dickinson College sponsored scholarships during their junior or senior years.  Those scholarships will provide either full tuition for a ninth semester (one semester beyond graduation) or a stipend during their student teaching semester.  In addition the college provides a budget for speakers, conference attendance, and other pre-professional activities for members of Kappa Delta Pi.
